In this podcast, Heath Holland (of F This Movie!) and I discuss the movie theater going experience, today and yesterday. 

Unfortunately there was a bad video connection so the visuals are choppy, to put it mildly.

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the test screening process that Hollywood studios engage in to see if a film is “playing” or not… but have you ever actually seen what one of the surveys look like?

Here is the official 1994 test screening survey that Warner Bros. gave to myself (and others) to see how we felt about Oliver Stone’s (still) controversial film, “Natural Born Killers.”

FYI: You will probably have to download the picture in order to zoom in properly. (Oh, and that trailer–pulled one day after debuting in front of “Forrest Gump.”)
